SUMMARY:Arthur Miller's The Hook
DESCRIPTION:Fridays – Sunday June 9-11\, 16-18 & 23-25 at 8pm.\nBrooklyn’s Brave New World Repertory Theatre (BNW) will present a full production of The Hook\, adapted by Brooklyn-based writer Ron Hutchinson from Arthur Miller’s unproduced screenplay and directed by Claire Beckman aboard The Waterfront Museum’s floating stage moored in Red Hook. The performances will run three weekends on Friday\, Saturday and Sunday nights at 8pm from June 9-25. Based on the true story of martyred longshoreman Pete Panto\, who stood up to a racketeering union\, rigged elections and corruption on the Red Hook docks in the 1950’s. \nClaire Beckman co-founder/producing artistic director of BNW says “The Hook captures the life and death struggle on the docks where the ever-present danger to the workers and their families was both from the job itself and the mobsters who controlled the docks.” \nBeckman credits David Sharps\, director and captain of The Waterfront Museum “for bringing Miller’s story to the US. “David introduced the UK team to me and Brave New World Rep. We are thrilled to be partnering with Captain Dave again\, as we continue our dramatic explorations of the waterfront.” \nThe Hook of the title is Red Hook\, Brooklyn. It is also the classic tool of a longshoreman; an extension of his arm\, a claw for gripping heavy crates and sacks of goods – or for use in a fight. The play gives a closer look at the tightly-knit working class community doing the dangerous work of loading and unloading the ships. Back-breaking work which made New York the world’s richest and most important harbor.Both BNW and Beckman have a history with Arthur Miller\, arguably Brooklyn’s greatest 20th century playwright. BNW has previously produced acclaimed productions of two other Miller classics: The Crucible in 2010 and The American Clock in 2011\, in addition to A View from the Bridge in 2018 & 2019. \nThe screenplay of The Hook\, arguably the template for On the Waterfront\, lay untouched for almost seventy years until British designer Patrick Connellan unearthed the original material\, including Miller’s handwritten notes. A stage version was produced at the UK’s Northhampton Theatre Royal in 2015. It was inspried by the true story of Pete Panto\, a young dockworker who stood up to the corrupt Mafia-connected union leadership. Panto was kidnapped on a local street\, murdered by The Mob and his body dumped in New Jersey. The movie was never made. When studio heads demanded the systemic corruption on the docks be attributed to Communism instead of The Mob\, Miller pulled the plug\, uninterested in writing “red scard” propaganda. He wrote A View from the Bridge instead.
